Put all taco seasoning spices in a bowl and stir until combined. Makes the equivalent of one pouch taco seasoning mix.
ASSEMBLE
Mix together the refried beans and the taco mix. Spread in the bottom of a 9 x 13-inch glass dish.
Add layers of ingredients in the following order: sour cream, artichoke hearts, black olives, green onions, cheddar cheese, tomatoes, and lettuce. Garnish with guacamole and green chilies if desired.
Serve with corn chips or tortilla chips.
Notes
I often use cilantro leaves instead of the lettuce for an extra bit of flavor.
I prefer to put the tomatoes on top for some nice color. I also remove the seeds and juices so that the dish keeps a little longer, which is helpful if you prepare this several hours in advance.
You can also use about 8 ounces of a chunky salsa instead of tomatoes if you want a different flavor.
You can cut the recipe in half and serve it in a glass pie plate.
